Both of these pups make terrific family pets for dozens of reasons and annually rank very high in popularity. If you are in the process of choosing which breed of dog is best for you, this blog will help you out. We will go over their basic history, their personalities, and their physical characteristics. ## **History of The French Bulldog** In the early 1800s, Normandy lace workers from England settled in France for employment. They brought with them smaller bulldogs who were primarily used as companion dogs and to hunt rats on farms. By the 1800’s, their popularity was growing, and the French Bulldog was fetching, no pun intended, up to $750 per dog. This breed took off and was a success in the farming communities. ## **History of The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel** The Cavalier King Charles spaniel is the descendant of a small toy spaniel depicted in many 16th Century paintings of northern Europe. This dog was originally bred to warm the laps of royalty in drafty castles. The breeding of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in the United States took place in the 1950s. The breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1996. ## **Living With the French Bulldog** The French Bulldog adapts well to contemporary or apartment-style housing. They make an ideal fit for those who don’t have a lot of property (big yard) and prefer to spend a Saturday morning relaxing on the couch with a soft blanket versus taking a long jog outside. This breed does require exercise but much prefers taking it easy and relaxing. The French Bulldog requires minimal grooming and is very easy to maintain. ## **Living With the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel** The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is happy in just about any housing situation. They are not selective and do not require a lot of room. They tend to be more active than the French Bulldog but enjoy a warm lap and blanket as much as the French Bulldog does. This breed is certainly a top companion dog and simply loves being around her family. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel requires routine brushing but is a very easy-to-maintain dog.

They are great family pets who love kids and other dogs. ## **Cavalier King Charles Spaniel’s Personality** Loving, loving, and loving. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a very caring, calm, and charming dog. They enjoy your lap and company and are outgoing in a calm fashion.
